Now, to complicated the matter, the Hong Kong/Macau releases of 1st party titles aren't published by Nintendo, they're published by [https://www.gamefaqs.com/wii/960551-super-mario-galaxy-2/images/1198059 iQue]. iQue nowadays is a 100% subsidiary of Nintendo and effectively functions as their Chinese branch, but before 2013 they were actually a joint partnership between Nintendo and an independent Chinese entrepreneur to attempt to bypass China's harsh video game restrictions. The problem here is that, at the time that these titles saw release, this joint ownership still existed; this both sheds doubt on the use of 01 publisher code for these IDs as publishing wasn't done exclusively by Nintendo or with the Nintendo brand, and iQue also creates a problem with the infobox since no Hong Kong region exists as far as I am aware (and it seems rather specific to make just for these fringe cases). - [[User:Xerxes|Xerxes]] ([[User talk:Xerxes|talk]]) 08:19, 21 June 2017 (CEST) | Now, to complicated the matter, the Hong Kong/Macau releases of 1st party titles aren't published by Nintendo, they're published by [https://www.gamefaqs.com/wii/960551-super-mario-galaxy-2/images/1198059 iQue]. iQue nowadays is a 100% subsidiary of Nintendo and effectively functions as their Chinese branch, but before 2013 they were actually a joint partnership between Nintendo and an independent Chinese entrepreneur to attempt to bypass China's harsh video game restrictions.

:These have all been investigated. [[RLWW78]] is the only full release that isn't Chinese | :These have all been investigated. [[RLWW78]] is the only full release that isn't Chinese (it's [https://imgur.com/a/Wzf5W5p Scandinavian]), and [[D43W01]] was skipped for being a bonus disc. - [[User:Xerxes|Xerxes]] ([[User talk:Xerxes|talk]]) 09:14, 23 June 2017 (CEST) | ||
